Lucky is the film testament from the deceased actor Harry Dean Stanton (1926-2017), who is being honoured at the 55FICX. Its debuting director, John Carroll Lynch, also from the acting world, presented the film before the media.

55FICX hosted on its opening ceremony the European premiere of Argentinian Constanza Novick's debut film. El futuro que viene tells the story of a female friendship and its ups and downs throughout the decades.
